| Abstract: | Dr William Zammit's book, 'Kissing the gallows: a cultural history of crime, torture and punishment in Malta, 1600-1798', features about 600 crime and punishment cases. The accounts are the result of the original correspondence between the Inquisitor of Malta and of Malta and the Vatican. Dr Zammit explains that contrary to the popular belief that the Inquisition dished out the harshest judgements, it was actually the Knights of St John who typically issued the cruellest punishments to offenders. |
